Ladies! I need YOUR help! Which picture looks more like the word "commitment"?3 of my friends and I are doing this fun and very creative picture thing, a photog. Where we choose a word for the week and take a picture of what it means to us. In other words a quadtych project. We will be selecting a weekly theme via a random pick of words we all submitted to our leader, Teresa. We all send her our picture then she will combine our four perspectives of that theme into a quadtych. I am so lucky to be working together with such amazing women with this project and making lasting fun memories. Teresa found the great idea from Madeline Bea.

I first thought of the word "commitment" meaning a relationship, a marriage. I wanted to do a close-up of Scott's and my hands with our fingers intertwined together with a neat rock or stone background...But I couldn't take that photo. Then I thought of my boys committed to climb that tree or rock wall. They were at school so I started to search for another idea of inspiration. I was thinking it would be neat to have a close-up shot of dry dirt with a little green baby plant poking through. Well, it's too late in the season in Arizona for a shot like that. Then it hit me, a pregnant lady. A real pregnant lady, due any time.

So what do you think? I need you vote!!

Do you like the first one...with the shadow or the other one with the hands on the back????
